Electrical Specifications
Each system can be configured with either a single AC or DC power
source as well as a redundant power option. If redundant power is
chosen, the control module and the first seven expansion modules that
contain tape drives require two independent power sources. In dual-
robotics systems, the left parking module does not require a power
source, and the right parking module requires a power source if it is in
position 2 through 8.
Caution: You must install your library with two independent power
sources to have redundant power. You will not have
redundant power if you use only one AC or DC power
source.
The power cable length for each of these inputs is 14 feet (4.26 m). See
Tab l e 3. For North America, the NEMA L6 - 30 power cord ships by
default.

Specifications
The typical power consumption for each module is listed in Tab l e 3.
Note: Gen 1 robotics libraries, Gen 2 single-robotics libraries, and
Gen 2 dual-robotics libraries have nearly identical readings and
fall under these specifications.
